Root Explanation

Interpretable → It is formed from "inter-" (meaning between) and "pretare" (from Latin "interpretari", meaning to explain or understand). The word "interpretable" means capable of being explained or understood between different perspectives or contexts.

Memory Tip

Think of something that can be 'explained' ('pretare') in different ways 'between' ('inter-') people or contexts — that's why interpretable means it can be understood in various manners.
